Attempts to like new(ish) music...

My attempts at liking music under 20 years old...with some 'musts' being good beats + humour + passion/character...

M.I.A. can make that list, SIA doesn't.

MSO was great at Sidney Myer tonight with Beethoven's Fifth and more - couldn't help but crack up at an endless ending though, remembering the Dudley Moore interpretation in the style of Ludwig!

Motorhead, got my tix!

Went to Yarraville, and after getting some nice hemp seed oil soap and shampoo from a 6' tall transexual in my favourite shop there (Green Collective), met with Candy and her menagerie of several cats, a dozen pedigree show bunnies and dalmation. Now to make a rug out of the fur on my clothes after patting and cuddling all the furries...aw...so adorable all.

Limbo - how low can you go?

Limbo - how low can you go? From the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force Steel Orchestra with limbo dancers, to a more pale skin comedic take...

 

 

Kirby takes it to Hollywood films, the remakes and genre movies that abound - dig it and learn (if you don't know already because you are a film buff).

Dreaming of the simple life...

My dream house, if only it was only it was closer to the city..but it's 276kms away...but at least $200,000 cheaper for all the below, than the median average city box here...but how to make a living out there, got no funds and no assets, part of my 'enjoy life now' philosophy of travelling as much as possible and not being ripped off by banks over a mortgage for a wildly overpriced city box...

- Approx 26 acres
- Cosy lounge room with wood fire
- Kitchen with handmade blackwood cupboards, combustion stove, gas oven and walk in pantry
- Pizza oven, camp kitchen and bbq area
- Fantastic orchard and vegetable patch
- Large hot house
- Workshop with power
- Old dairy converted to art studio and wine cellar
- Shearing shed - half converted to guest quarters other 1 stand working shed
- Chook pen
- Excellent internal and external fences
- Large dam plus 100,000 fresh tank water

Amazing panoramas, for the loungeroom voyeur

Post Apocalyptic Finnish Flick

Thumbs up for the $2 DVD I found in The Reject Shop, The Last Border, set in post-apocalyptic 2009, filmed in Finland...heavy guitars on the soundtrack, maiden with amnesia (but later remembers how to shoot a gun so might be a guerilla fighter for the good cause), 'hero' with 90's rock mullet and revenge on his mind, evil bikers, old magic hag with big nuff nuff son, viking style post-apocalyptic costumes Finnish style (reindeer skins, etc.), and actors called Jürgen Prochnow, Kari Väänänen and Fanny Bastien...good old Fanny. Makes me want to make a movie...

 

 

Super 7 San Fran steals the bars

Watching the Electric Playground they exposed Super 7 nerd store in San Fran's logo rip off from Black Flag...looking around, a few more did too - but then, did it really originate with Black Flag?
